Love them or hate them, squirrels are here to stay. Some people put out feeders on their lawn to give passing squirrels a treat or two (and to make sure they’re fed enough, at the very least, so they won’t attempt to forage for food in the garbage or in the house.) If you’re bored, belong in the “hate” category, or simply want to get some laughs in return for the food, then this Horse Head squirrel feeder by Archie McPhee is something you need.

As the name implies, it’s a squirrel feeder in the shape of a horse’s head, so when the squirrels pokes its head in to chow down, well…you know what happens.

Squirrels are superheroes in their own little way. They’re apparently responsible for planting a whole bunch of trees every year because they forgot where they buried their acorns. Even if it’s unintentional, we’ll take it as face value and consider these little, adorable creatures heroes either way.

Taking the “hero” bit more literally is Santiago-Perez from Spain, who used PhotoShop to transform your ordinary, run-of-the-mill squirrel into some of the most powerful and well-known superheroes of all time, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, and even Batman. A Yoda squirrel is thrown somewhere into the mix, too. Check out the rest of the images in the series after the break.
